LSU is a preseason top-five team in the country according the the AP and Coach's polls with expectations to win the SEC West and possibly even be a College Football Playoff contender. While the lofty aspirations are encouraging to LSU Tigers fans, it all starts with their Labor Day weekend matchup with the Florida State Seminoles. Mike Norvell's team is getting a lot of preseason love as well as the Noles return starting quarterback Jordan Travis and defensive lineman Jared Verse who led the team in sacks last season. LSU also returns starting QB Jayden Daniels and it's top weapons on offense along with defensive superstars Harold Perkins and Maason Smith. With two teams returning so much production and with two head coaches with something to prove, how does one pick a favorite for arguably the best Week 1 matchup in the country?
Pro Football Focus' College Football Analyst Max Chadwick joins Locked On LSU host Caroline Fenton to give his perspective on LSU and the toughest matchups on their schedule. Is the preseason love for the Tigers justified? Who has the edge at which positions in their Week 1 matchup with FSU? Where could there be a trap game on LSU's schedule and does a loss against Florida State all but disqualify the Tigers from College Football Playoff contention?
